Women have been trying to abort unwanted pregnancies since the dawn of time. And most ended up still pregnant or dead. Abortion will never go away. Right now a woman can get an abortion and still live. If we outlaw them, women will be forced back into the alleys and die.

Being from Texas, Wendy Davis makes me sick. Her comment about that she still wants clinics to remain open even if they go against standard health procedures. I'm sorry, but someone who is "for the women of Texas," it's completely disturbing.

This whole rally for the ban is just out of control. Two children from this afternoons rally, I am guessing age range 6-10, holding up signs with a coat hanger drawn on it saying "no to the ban." Let me take an educational guess who made them draw that sign. I'm sure as all hell if you ask a 1st or 2nd grader if they are for/against the ban, they would be for it.

Well, since no faith anywhere in the history of the universe ever had women who didn't try to abort. (Like Amy said)

I really don't understand where anyone wants to use faith as a basis, and sadly and most unfortinuately most people who are Pro-life DO try to use their religion.

Outside of religion...

How in anyway shape or form in a country that has seperation of church and state. Can you argue for the pro-life side?

Two rights can not inherit the same body, and if I don't want to take on the risks of being pregnant (And there are risks, and the US is not immune to those risks since we have the worst maternal death rate of a first world country) Why should I have too? Everything in life is a risk analysis of what you as a person are willing to risk in order to gain. If I feel my risks (Being pregnant and the associated problems that go with it) Aren't something that I can cope with in that moment. Why should I have too? Why should I give up my body? When I had sex, I didn't agree to being pregnant, I agreed to having sex.

PP, apparently those two children holding signs knew at an early age that if abortion is prohibited, coat hangers will be used to perform one. *Rolls eyes* Don't get children involved in this.

How is it different than people who are anti-choice that hold up pictures of 12 week bloody fetuses that AREN'T ACTUALLY 12 week fetuses? Abortions with coat hangers actually happen and they would happen a hell of a lot more with only a few clinics in a state as large as Texas.

Either way, by your username I can tell what you are so I won't engage any further.

LOL. Oh how funny.

Having sex, you know that there is a chance, a slight one if you take precautions, to getting pregnant. Don't want to risk that? Then use condoms, take birth control, get the Mirena, get your tubes tied or vasectomy if money isn't an issue. Hey Blue Cross members, birth control is free! Come on now. If you end up pregnant, well, that was just the end result of having sex.

I think BOTH sides have a history of using children. it' wasn't the pro-choice people who had their 4 year old yelling at me not to murder my baby when I was going to our local Planned parenthood to pick up my birth control pills.
